Praia do Zavial
Level: All Levels
Praia do Zavial is a fantastic hollow right hand beach break, which works well in the winter and sometimes in the summer if there is a decent swell. When it is small this surf spot can be great for the kids and beginners, but when it gets going, it is one of the heaviest right hand waves around. Great café good food and ice creams!
Praia da Cordoama
Level: All Levels
Praia do Cordoama is the most consistent surf spot in the Algarve region. It is a very open beach with stunning cliffs that greet the sand. In fact, one of the most popular beaches around with many people during the summer months. The waves can be exceptionally good with amazing peaks and when everywhere flat, Cordoama will deliver!
Praia do Castelejo
Level: All Levels
Praia do Castelejo is Cordoama’s neighboring beach. This surf spot has good consistent waves with an occasional lefthander peels against the cliff over shallow rocks, a good peak in the center and also waves that break off the island to the left of the beach. The waves are consistent and the beach does offer a little bit of shelter from the north wind.
Praia da Ingrina
Level: All Levels
Praia da Ingrina is a beautiful quiet little beach with a tiny bay. This surf spot offers a fantastic lefthander that breaks off the rock into the bay. The wave can be nice and hollow, if the sandbank is good, but needs a good winter swell to really get going. Great café/restaurant with awesome views.
Praia do Amado
Level: All Levels
Praia do Amado is a fantastic open beach and also very popular in the summer. This surf spot offers great waves, lefts and rights everywhere and works well through the tide, but low.

This area of Portugal is a year round surf destination and has the warmest sea water in the country. In the summer months you can surf in just shorts or a shortie and it doesn't get dark until 10pm so you can surf all day long! The coastline is part of the protected natural park with 50 kilometres of protected beaches with no large towns or high rise tourist accommodations. Instead you will discover beautiful pristine beaches and small traditional towns a far cry from the main overrun Algarve tourist spots.
Amado beach is the areas best beginner/intermediate surf beach and a great starting point. Amado is surrounded by many other great surf breaks with options for all standards. Praia da Cordoama is one of the most picturesque beaches in Portugal, a long stretch of sand protected by cliffs, a great intermediate spot. Praia do Castelejo beside it is even more consistent.
There's a dozen beaches further north all worth exploring including Arrifana & Amoreira, two very consistent beginner/intermediate beach breaks.
Furthest south is the laid back surf town of Sagres. The beaches East of Sagres such as Zavial & Martinhal are usually calm and require a big swell to work, they are a great alternative if the surf on the beaches on the West coast are too big. There are many hidden spots around Sagres some of which will require an SUV to get too but are well worth it especially for the more experienced.
